Answer:

  • a = 3√10 ≈ 9.5
  • b = 9√10 ≈ 28.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two relations we can use to find "a" and "b":

  a = 3b

  a² + b² = 30²

Substituting for "a", we have ...

  (3b)² +b² = 900

  10b² = 900

  b² = 90

  b = √90 = 3√10 ≈ 9.5

Then "a" is ...

  a = 3b = 3(3√10) = 9√10 ≈ 28.5

The values of "a" and "b" are about 28.5 and 9.5, respectively.
